How To Make This Peach Fluff Recipe

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

If you are using fresh peaches, toss the peaches in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice beforehand.

STEP ONE: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar for 1½ to 2 minutes, until smooth.

PRO TIP:

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t have lumps in the creamy dressing.

STEP TWO: Whisk in the thawed whipped topping and peach-flavored gelatin.

STEP THREE: Fold in the drained and diced peaches and mini marshmallows. Tightly cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

PRO TIP:

Stir all the ingredients together carefully as you don’t want to break apart the fruit pieces.

PRO TIP:

For best results, make sure you give your salad at least 1 hour of chilling time. It allows all of the yummy flavors to blend together.

Storing This Peach Fluff Salad

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

PRO TIP:

Another idea is to use your leftover peach dessert salad to make popsicles by placing the leftovers into a popsicle mold. You can also spread it in a baking dish and scoop it up like ice cream, once it freezes. It’s delicious this way!

    Is it necessary to put the nuts in the fluff? I am so allergic to all nuts and hope it not necessary to make the fluff. Thank you for your assistance.

    Thank you, I have been looking for a recipe like this for many years. We had peach fluff similar to this when I was in school, it was delicious. I think the only difference between that or this is that one had rice in it. I’m thinking that they may have added the rice to stretch it to feed more people since rice is cheap. Can’t wait to try it!
